Leather Essence by Ferrari

Ugh, where to begin: I’m a leather fanatic, all types, but to be honest, this isn’t a pure leather scent. It opens with an alcoholic top note that vanishes in five seconds, leaving a soft citrus touch accompanying the clove. As it settles, the leather emerges but is very subtle, enjoyable and wearable. It has that woody note that adds a touch of class. In terms of aroma, it’s a 10. On my skin, it lasts easily for 8 hours, projecting for 3 hours before becoming more intimate. It’s the kind of perfume you never get bored of smelling; it can rival niche fragrances and is 100% recommended, although I wouldn’t buy it blindly.

Good evening from Argentina. I bought this Ferrari Leather fragrance like many others with high expectations of being able to smell the leather. In the first blast, the longed-for leather scent is perceived in a very fleeting way and for only a few seconds; this disappears to give way to the other predominant notes such as clove, tonka bean, vanilla, and guaiac wood. It’s very good for wearing in autumn-winter as it’s quite heavy and lasts on the skin for about 7 or 8 hours. Those who like leather scents shouldn’t look for this fragrance; it’s only for those who like strong and spiced aromas. A good scent for cold days, and the excellent packaging stood out with a very good leather-lined bottle and a metal cap with the Ferrari logo. From these very long-lasting fragrances by the brand Ferrari, I’m sticking with the Vetiver Essence, which is much fresher.

Hello everyone. I agree with the positive reviews; I don’t think I have much to add. It’s not just any perfume; it has an honest title: Leather Essence. It’s a very well-executed and pleasant leather note. Highly recommended for lovers of the note. The leather lining the sides of the metal cap and the fronts of the heavy glass packaging play very well together, along with the amber-coloured juice. A niche-quality fragrance.

Good day group, a curiosity arrived yesterday that I tried and wanted to share: Ferrari Leather Essence. Beautiful presentation for this cheapie, but the best part is opening and smelling the first spray. It reminded me of Italian Leather by Memo. It’s not a clone, but they follow a path with aromatic similarities (between 60 and 70%), perhaps due to the combination of leather, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla versus the leather, tomato, and vanilla of Memo. Ferrari would be a ‘gateway’ to Memo, sharper and more potent. It’s a ‘tanned’ leather, different from Ombre Leather or Yuqawam; here it’s softer but very present for 8 or 9 hours. My favourite part is the dry-down after an hour and a half, where the clove and cinnamon appear in a sublime way, and finally the cinnamon, vanilla, and a faint leather close a wonderful experience. Totally recommended, almost mandatory if you love Italian Leather.

A luminous leather. The opening is a bit alcoholic but in seconds the scent unites clove, tonka bean, and leather, feeling tanned, like leather treated in a luxury car. In the dry-down, after 6 hours in the final stage, the scent changes and becomes a leather with an incense note. A gem at a very good price.

Undoubtedly, this is the finest Ferrari fragrance for men. The leather here is splendid, magnificent, and exquisite because it doesn’t smell of petrol or rotting oil; in short, Leather Essence is 1000 times better than other famous brands, especially compared to Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather.

Well, in my opinion, it’s the one I like most of all the Ferrari scents I’ve tried. Although it says it’s a perfume, the longevity wasn’t what I expected.

Buff, what a good one it is; olfactorily, this Ferrari Leather Essence is superb. For a house of such renown to produce perfumes of this quality is unusual. After the citrus opening, the heart of leather with vanilla is spectacular. It’s a high-level product, modern, warm, and enveloping, with satisfactory longevity for any collection. Another hit from Sejano77 (thanks, friend!).

I’ve loved this perfume. It’s a sweet leather that is also masculine and elegant. It has no transition; it’s linear all the way. Excellent trail and longevity. I applied it more than 12 hours ago and I can still smell it.

It doesn’t quite take my fancy; it has a sweetness that exhausts me and gives me nausea, but there’s something that keeps me smelling it.

Ferrari Leather Essence presents a disconcerting opening. I find myself facing an opening between citrus, chypre, leather, and floral that produces rejection in me. It wasn’t love at first sight. But, as always, patience pays off. As it develops, it unfolds woody and slightly spiced wings, generating a process of familiarity. I feel at home with the cinnamon, guaiac wood, cedar, patchouli, vanilla, liquor, tobacco, and tonka bean. The dry down is woody, creamy, sweet, warm, and welcoming, full of exquisite elegance. Although the sillage is moderate, the longevity is high. Love is produced not by a lightning bolt, but by knowledge and cohabitation. I realise it and I’m already wrapped in the arms of the East. What am I to do if I’ve lived so many lives travelling the Silk Road!

The same thing happened to me with other perfumes. You apply them, look at the pyramid, and say: there, it resembles X; and without any prior conditioning. In this case, the resemblance is with Musc Ravageur and all the recycled versions Mr Roucel has released, such as L for Lolita and I suppose Labdanum 18. The cinnamon-clove combo so present in Malle, the vanilla and tonka, the citrus (L itself declares bitter orange). The point is that it reminded me of them quite a bit. Here, a note of leather is what differentiates it from the others, and despite the fact that I usually have trouble smelling them, I felt this one relatively well, perhaps because it’s quite mixed with the other notes I’ve mentioned. In short, great value for money and an applause for this brand which, for now, hasn’t released its own Sauvage. I received a compliment when freshly applied but I think that doesn’t count for much; at least one has to wait a few minutes, hehe.

Mysteriously, all Ferrari fragrances have disappeared from the shelves and display cases of the shops I know, including department stores. They give no reason why. Truly a mystery worthy of an Agatha Christie novel.

What a job Ferrari has done!

I’ve finally been able to try this collection. I’ve publicly stated that I’m a follower of this house, despite any bad criticism it may have, which is a matter of taste, I suppose. That makes me seem less impartial (although I think someone with prejudices against a brand would be more or less impartial? it’s all a matter of perspective). So I’ll opine on this fragrance with this context: 1) LOVE AT FIRST SNIF. 2) I will buy it. 3) It brought to mind the delicate work presented by Tom Ford and Creed (yes, I know, big words). 4) I will buy it. 5) It’s a somewhat stately fragrance, recommended for men over 40. 6) I will buy it. 7) It contains an undeclared note of tobacco that has me… crazy… 8) I will buy it. 9) I had a slight déjà vu with “The Library Collection Opus VII” by Amouage… Right, I’ll try it again. 10) I will buy it. 11) I agree with most friends who have reviewed this, that it’s for autumn-winter. 12) Bravo, bravo to Il Cavallino Rampante! 13) Did I already say I’d buy it? 14) I recommend it with my eyes closed.
